Sending love - Groovi

Hello Friends,

I've made a card for a special friend this morning. She's a neighbour from the opposite end of the close to me. She's one of the most kindest ladies I've ever met, full of wisdom, intelligence and life stories, which she draws upon, at times when she's needed for comfort and advice. A couple of years ago she became a real friend, when my husband was having an awful & stressful time. She is a counsellor and is a masseuse, the perfect combination for anybody who is dealing with 'stuff'!

Over the last few days I've thought about her and thought about her because she is German. Not only am I worried about my own family, with deep European connections in Germany and France but my worries go much further - for anyone in our country from any nationality right now.

On my walk this morning I saw this most gorgeous lady and my first instinct was to rush over and hug her, as soon as I saw her, offering my sympathy and support. Apparently I've been the only one....what does that say about my neighbourhood? I thought I lived in a lovely Oxfordshire location.

I can't dwell on this.....the only way I know how not to beat myself up, and for it taking me so long to check to see how she felt/how she was coping, was to make her a card to reassure her that we loved her, she was very welcome here in our close and we were totally here for her, if she needs us.

Private Tuition - One to one:

I have been a crafting teacher for about 17 years. I have been teaching the Silhouette software (Silhouette Cameo/Silhouette Portrait) for the last 5 years, on a one-to-one basis and also teach/run workshops on Parchment craft, using the Clarity Groovi system and general card making classes. If you are interested in being looked after for the day while you learn how to make your crafting projects look great, then email me. I'm looking forward to sharing my knowledge with you soon.
